Reduce Forest Property Taxes

The quality forest plan that will provide a tax break of 16 mils even if the property has a structure. The landowner has all the rights for privacy. If you want an excellent tax break, the commercial forests plan tax is $1.25 per acre. There can be no structure and you need to take down the deer blinds after ever hunting season. The public has only foot traffic on the property to hunt, fish and trap. This law is especially great to reduce the taxes for the longterm growth of timber. Both QF and Commercial Forest have a penalty of a maximum of 7 years of back taxes if the landowner wants out. Another plus is that both acts cap the land so the evaluation stops at the year enrolled. Instructions for New Applicants to the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). Commercial Forest Summary. Tax Tips for Forest Land Owners for 2018 Tax Year.

Management

If you have 40 acres of mature aspen. Recommend harvesting 10 acres of aspen every 5 years starting with the older stands of aspen. This way the habitat will stay in top condition for a longer period of time. After aspen reaches an age of 22 years the stocking or density is less desirable for Grouse and woodcock. It is best to leave a few old low vigor aspen trees that have a diameter of breast high (10")+ this is for the pileated woodpecker to search for bugs and worms in the old dying aspen trees. Leave hemlock and cedar trees as this is the main trees that shelter deer during the cold UP winters.

Timber Cruise Valuation

Timber Cruise Valuation is necessary for estate evaluations, for purchase of timber land and for tax purposes like developing depletion accounts on the timber base that can be deducted to reduce taxes on the value of timber harvested. Example: if the depletion is $20 per cord and the land owner is receiving $30 per cord from the professional logger only $10 per cord would be taxed. Also remember that timber held over one year may be treated as long term capital gains. Renken has passed timber cruise for the USDA Forest Service and The Michigan DNR Foresty work. 5. Any acreage that is at least 5 acres or more..
